Don't Fence Me In

歌詞

Wildcat Kelley, lookin' mighty pale, Was standin' by the sherrif's side And when the sherrif said "I'm sendin' you to jail", Wildcat raised his head and cried Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above, Don't fence me in Let me ride through the wide open country that I love, Don't fence me in Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze, listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees, Send me off forever but I ask you please, Don't fence me in Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle Underneath the western skies On my Cayuse, let me wander over yonder Till I see the mountains rise I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences gaze at the moon till I lose my senses I can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences Don't fence me in Wildcat Kelley, back again in town, was sittin' by his sweethearts side, And when his sweetheart said "come on let's settle down", Wildcat raised his head and cried Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies, Don't fence me in Let me ride through the wide open country that I love, Don't fence me in Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees Send me off forever but I ask you please, Don't fence me in Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle Underneath the western skies On my Cayuse, let me wander over yonder Till I see the mountains rise I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences gaze at the moon till I lose my senses I can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences Don't fence me in
